Overkill?

This blog entry eloquently satirises the fact that the UK and US governments have deemed that an entire state of matter (one of only 3 main states of being)is a security risk. This security blog makes the interesting point that the current situation is "security theatre": it gives us the impression that we are safer without actually making us safer. Targeting the tactics rather than the organisation means that all the turrrrrists have to do now is switch away from liquid explosives, and they will have caused uproar and cost us a lot of money. His advice: don’t be terrorised.
